Description

  • Water oak
  • 0.5 oz or 1.5 oz
  • Releases tannins
  • Terrarium or aquarium

The leaves work in a terrarium and in water:

  • Humidity: the leaves hold moisture in tropical enclosures.

  • Microhabitats: hiding and foraging spots for insects, amphibians, and other small animals.

  • Forest-floor look: the leaves make a bioactive setup look natural.

  • Tannins: in water they slowly release tannins that lower pH and soften it, as in Amazonian and Southeast Asian biotopes.

  • Biofilm: the leaf surfaces grow biofilm, a food for shrimp and some fish.

  • Shelter: cover for fish, shrimp, and invertebrates.
